Personality Number

Your Personality number, derived from the CONSONANTS of your full birth name, often serves as a censoring device, both in terms of what you send out, as well as what you allow to approach. It lists the characteristics you project and indicates how others are most likely to perceive you before getting to know you well, and so by learning about your Personality Number you can get insight of how others view you. It discriminates in the kinds of people and information you let enter your heart and mind, and it is those aspects that you feel comfortable sharing with people at the outset of a relationship.

Three Core Name Numbers Derived From Our Full Birth Name ...

In Pythagorean Numerology, each letter in your name is given a single digit number, based on the chart below.

Your Personality number is derived from the consonants of your full name at birth.

To calculate your Personality number, assign each consonant of your name a number from the chart.

Do this separately for your First Name, Middle Name (if you have one), and Last Name (Surname). For each of your names add the numbers up separately, reducing them down to a single digit value. When you have the numbers for each of your names, add these up and again reduce to a single digit to come up with your Personality Number.

Note: If at any time in your calculations you encounter a master number (11,22, or 33) do not reduce it any further.

How to Calculate Your Personality Number: Sample Calculations

What about the letter Y?

The letter Y is a bit tricky to use. Sometimes it is considered a vowel and at other times a consonant, depending on how it is used and how it sounds within the name.

When to use the letter "Y" as a VOWEL

when Y serves as a vowel and sounds like a vowel , or when Y is the only vowel in the syllable (Mary, Carolyn, Betty)

when Y precedes another vowel in a syllable and provides the vowel sound (Bryan, Wyatt)

When to use letter "Y" as a CONSONANT

when Y follows another vowel, and it doesn't provide for a separate vowel sound (Murray, Hayley)

when the syllable already has another vowel (except when Y precedes another vowel in a syllable and provides the vowel sound)

when the Y is used in place of a J sound ( Yamaha, Toyota, Yoda)

My son has been inspired to change his name to take on my (birth) last name, and change his middle name to honour his deceased grandfather. His name is currently Grayson Lewis Bell and he is changing it to Grayson Terence Mann. How will this change affect his destiny number? Will he still retain his original destiny number, but may it perhaps expand to also include the properties of the new destiny number? The name change by the way is divinely inspired. Thank you.

Hi Sarah, the Destiny or Expression Number is always derived from the FULL name we are given at birth, and so it will not be influenced by the name change. However, his MINOR Expression number will now be different.

Both the Expression number and Minor Expression numbers play a part in our overall Numerology chart, but the Birth Name numbers (aka Core Numbers) are given more weight then the Minor numbers.

Hello there, I calculated all my numbers and all but my hearts desire, and expression number seemed accurate... I got 8 for expression/destiny, 11 for life path, 3 for hearts desire/soul urge, and 5 for my personality number. I was confused on my 'day' number...I was born March 15th, - I wasn't sure if it would be a 6? My name is Aubree Elizabeth Nielsen Wallery. I would greatly appreciate any input! Thank you so much in advance!
